Updating the DefaultProject template to not insert the project-path parameter (#1223)

* Updating the DefaultProject template to not insert the project-path parameter into the VS Debugger Arguments for any applications

Added project-path injection directly within the LauncherUnified and AssetBuilder cmake scripts where their targets are defined

* Removing the add_vs_debugger_arguments call from the AutomatedTesting CMakeLists.txt
